Revision as of 18:01, 2 February 2024

"Premium beer" (also referred to as "premium ale" or "premium lager") describes a term used to refer to brands of beer perceived to be of higher quality than normal.

There is no universally agreed system or criteria to determine what is and isn't a premium beer. The term has been used since the early 1940's,[1] and may encompass a combination of characteristics including: flavor, pricing,[2][3] alcohol by volume, or even the sound of the beer's packaging.[citation needed]

Two interpretations of "premium" are most common.[4] The definition of "premium" typically revolves around elements symbolic of quality and/or status, such as price,[5][1] flavor, and/or brand.[6] In this definition, even a beverage with low alcohol content may be "premium" if societally viewed as such.[7][8][9]

While the exact numeric thresholds vary between authorities,[10] "premium" beers, lagers and ales are also evaluated based on alcohol by volume content.[11][12]

"Super-Premium" Beer

Within the beer industry, many have gone on to use terms such as "super premium" and other similar neologisms.[13][14]

In the beer and lager industry these classifications are routinely used as marketing efforts,[3][15] with some even incorporating terms like "Premium"[16][17] or "Ultra" into their official names.[4][14][17]
